Big Reading Challenge

Published: Friday, 12 September 2025

Every year, Councillor colleagues take on a very special challenge to raise funds for the Nottingham Imagination Library, an amazing scheme that delivers a free book every month to local children in our most deprived wards, from birth up to 5 years of age.

This years Big Reading Challenge is 22nd - 27th September 2025 and we are looking for group based settings to get involved.

Would you like a Councillor to visit your nursery to read a story? Email info@nottinghamimaginationlibrary.com to register your interest!

Could you get involved with fundraising? Perhaps you could host a Read-A-Thon or have a sponsored dressing up day as your favourite storybook character?

We're also collecting donations for the Big Reading Challenge - you can donate at https://gofund.me/4e1719b95
